Coffee blends - Coffee culture - Coffee industry - Coffee shops - Community events - Local cafes - Specialty coffee market

Discover the latest trends and updates in the coffee industry! From expanding Vietnamese options to striking coffee workers, it's all here.

The coffee industry is abuzz with exciting developments, from new shops expanding their offerings to small family farmers benefitting from the specialty coffee market. In Hiawatha, a new shop called Yummy Banh Mi is not only serving the classic Vietnamese sandwich but also introducing boba tea and coffee to the Cedar Rapids metro area. Meanwhile, Night Sky Coffee in Winder, Georgia, is lighting up the scene with its new roastery and cafe, featuring a small blue Diedrich IR2.5 roaster. On the other side of the country, a popular Midwest coffee chain is making its way to North Carolina, adding to the diverse array of local coffee shops in Charlotte.

Amidst all this excitement, Coffee#1 is seeing success with increased sales of iced coffee and food, positioning itself for further growth despite inflationary pressures in the UK. In the community of Buena Vista, residents are getting together for their monthly coffee meetups at Best Western, fostering a sense of community and connection. Additionally, coffee shops have long been known as conducive environments for productivity, offering a space for people to work or unwind.

In a twist of events, Ultimo Coffee workers have gone on strike during ongoing contract negotiations, highlighting the challenges faced by coffee shop employees. The strike at Ultimo's Newbold and Rittenhouse locations adds a layer of complexity to the labor dynamics in the coffee industry, bringing attention to issues of fair treatment and worker rights.

The coffee world is ever-evolving, with different players contributing to its vibrant landscape. Whether it's a new shop opening its doors or workers advocating for better conditions, coffee continues to be a dynamic and impactful industry.
